Many adults would like to have straighter and whiter teeth.  Unfortunately, over time teeth darken due to staining from certain foods and drinks we enjoy like coffee, wine, and tea. Minimal preparation veneers may be the answer to counteract teeth staining. Veneers are thin, semi-translucent “shells” typically attached to your front teeth. Veneers are customized from porcelain material and permanently bonded to your teeth. Veneers are a great alternative to other dental procedures to improve the appearance of your smile. These veneers are barely .3 mm in thickness, yet they are extremely strong and beautiful when bonded into place.

The patient chooses the color for their veneers and the teeth only need minimally preparation. Usually no more than .25 mm is removed from the facial surface of the teeth to provide and even surface. Most teeth do not even need any preparation at all.  The dentist takes an impression and sends the patient models to a dental laboratory.  In less than 2 weeks, the veneers are bonded into place, giving a beautiful, stunning smile.

     Lumineers and Vivaneers are two brands of no prep veneers that we utilize to address the following common problems that patients come to us for:  

·        Spaces between the teeth

·        Broken or chipped teeth

·        Unsightly, stained or discolored teeth

·        Permanently stained or discolored teeth

·        Crooked or misshapen teeth

     Veneers are a great aesthetic solution to your smile that may even help you avoid orthodontic treatment. Subtle changes to your smile can be achieved with veneers, and in most cases, veneer application is completed in only two office visits.

It is great to see how happy my patients are after this simple procedure.
